Talking to reporters in the Assembly premises here, Ponguleti said that Congress president Sonia Gandhi would never go back on her promise of Telangana formation. However, he said that the statement of Veerappa Moily, said to have been given after his meeting with Seemandhra union ministers and MPs, has been twisted by the media. He said Moily would never give any statement against Sonia Gandhi’s decision.

Regarding the meeting of ministers and legislators from all regions held on Thursday, he said it was done for “Sadbhavana” so that the Congress leaders could bury their differences to fight the opposition parties.
